Chapter 270 - My sister killed her

Without waiting for her reply, Kevin took out a brochure from his pocket and gave it to Jeren. "All the date and time of the entrance examination is written in here. Now I want you to stop thinking about everything else and focus on studying more. Everything else I'll handle." 

"But-"

Cutting her off, Silvia snapped, "No ifs and buts. Listen to your brother-in-law and start studying. I don't want you to think about anything else."

Cupping Jeren's face, Silvia tried to comfort her. "I know why you are feeling hesitant. Everything happened so quickly that both of us did not get anytime to think about it. All of a sudden I got a little sister and you got an elder sister. But leaving everything aside, we are sisters right? Neither you nor me can change this fact. Since you refuse to go back to your parents then let me do what a big sister should. And it's not like I cannot pay for your college. Your brother-in-law is Richie Rich so both of us can leech off him. I am sure he will not mind, right honey?"

Kevin vigorously nodded his head and happily agreed, "Of course, you can leech off me all your life."

Looking at Silvia with teary eyes, Jeren hugged her. "Thank you so much sister Silvia. I am so glad that I found you."

Patting her back, Silvia smiled, "I am glad that I found you too."

"I've already asked someone to get the books for you and you'll get it by tomorrow. Your admission form has already been submitted and accepted. Now all you have to do is study hard." Kevin is explained before taking out a card from his wallet.

" I'll be waiting outside." Passing the card to Silvia, Kevin left.

After Kevin left, Silvia shoved the card in Jeren's hand. "Your brother-in-law arranged this for you. You can use it whenever you want to okay? You'll be joining college soon so you'll be needing one." 

Jeren widened her eyes in shock and vigorously shook her head before giving the card back. "I can't take this." 

" I did not ask whether you want it or not. It's a command and you'll have to follow." Leaving no room for any further negotiation or discussion, Silvia shoved the card in her. "You don't have to be so formal with me okay? Just stop it. The more you think about it, things will become more complicated. Let the bygones be bygones." 

Tightening her grip around the card, Jeren murmured, "You are doing so much for me sister Silvia. You let me stay at your place, willingly accepted me as your younger sister, you also threw me such a heartwarming and lovely party and you are paying for my college and now this card. I don't know how to thank you. You really have a very big heart." Wiping her tears away, Jeren continued, "We just met recently and yet you made my birthday such a huge affair but mom and dad did not even bother wishing me. I was actually accepting a call or even a small text from their side but I-"

"Ssshhh don't cry anymore. You have so many people who love you now so what are you upset about? It doesn't matter okay? Don't think about it anymore and take some rest. I'll come tomorrow morning and then we can go for breakfast together." After calming Jeren down, Silvia left.

Resort garden.

"Late night walk?" Uncle Jackie asked.

Aunt Liza smiled and nodded her head. "I wasn't feeling sleepy so I decided to take a short walk." Turning towards him, Aunt Liza asked, "What about you? Not feeling sleepy?"

Jackie nodded his head and sighed, "Yeah something like that. I sleep late usually so it doesn't really matter."

Without saying anything, Liza and Jackie kept on walking until they saw a small lake.

Looking at the lake, Jackie smiled, "I never thought there was a lake here."

"It's a beautiful one." Liza exclaimed. With the moonlight hitting its surface, the lake water was sparkling like a diamond making it look more beautiful and heavenly.

"Hmm it is." Jackie agreed.

"How did you lose her?"

Looking at the lake and it's sparkling water, Jackie sighed in grief, "My sister killed her."

…..

Silvia and Kevin's room.

Lying in each other's embrace, Kevin was caressing Silvia's back who had been abnormally quiet after coming out from Jeren's room.

"What happened?" Kevin questioned Silvia patiently waiting for her reply.

"They did not wish Jeren." 

Understanding who she was talking about, Kevin pulled her closer and planted a light kiss on her forehead. "It's alright, didn't you arrange a wonderful party for her and made this day a memorable one for her?"

Silvia sighed and nodded her head.

"So it doesn't really matter."

"Why are they like that? I understand they have no attachment with me because they left when I was seven but what about Jeren? She was there with them for so many years. How can they treat her this way? Aren't parents supposed to love their kids and cherish them? Why are they so indifferent?" There were so many questions that Silvia wanted to ask Sabrina and George her so-called biological parents but at the same time, she didn't wish to see them. 

" Well, everyone is different. Not everyone is as good as uncle Herpi and aunt Lily." Kevin reasoned out. Not only Sabrina and George were different but they were selfish and self centered. They were failures as parents and were not even worthy to be called one.

Keeping quiet for quite sometime, Silvia popped her head up and nervously asked, "Kev, we will be great parents right?"

Caressing her cheeks, Kevin smiled and nodded his head, " Yes, you will be the coolest and prettiest mommy in the whole world and I'll be the most handsome and dashing dad. We will rock as parents." 

Placing her head on his chest, Silvia smiled. Kevin was right, they would turn out to be the best parents for their kid or maybe kids. Kevin would definitely want more than one.
